Topic: The International 2018 (Read 868 times)

The Internationals always hold a special place in our heart and gets us excited and sometimes emotional. The best players from all around the world gather up and play against each other to prove who is the best.I encourage everyone from lagabuse.com to watch this tournament, even if you haven't played Dota 2 at all (there will be a beginner friendly stream where the commentators will explain things in more details). It's once in a year, so give it a try.

This year The International will be held in Vancouver, Canada.

TI8 Information:

Group Stage: August 15th - August 18th, 2018Main Event: August 20th - August 25th, 2018

So these apparently happened. Short summary: a limited hero pool 5v5 AI that learned from scratch through self play. A team of pro scene personalities was pitted against it for BO3 and basically got steamrolled, except for that one game where audience picked 2k mmr lineup for bots. There was an audience game beforehand, but it ended with 9 min rax 13 min gg. Includes chat BM from both humans and bots.

@div.ide i watched those AI games and yeah that hex was a game winning xdI mean it might seem unfair but even a human has a chance to do that if he expects thr blink from the ES by spam casting the hex whetr he predicts ES will jump xd

@ExpertNoob eg are actually looking very strong after their roster change. They just won a mini tournament by stomping teams like fnatic and optic gaming with ease.
